Martín Zubimendi Ibáñez To Chelsea: What We Know
Arsenal midfielder Martin Zubimendi is reportedly considering a January exit if his playing time does not improve, with Chelsea manager Xabi Alonso keen on a reunion.
Martín Zubimendi is currently evaluating his options at Arsenal just one year after his £60 million move from Real Sociedad. The 27-year-old Spaniard has seen his first-team opportunities limited following the high-profile arrival of Bruno Guimaraes and the rise of Myles Lewis-Skelly, prompting reports that he has already held direct talks with manager Mikel Arteta.
Chelsea, led by Zubimendi's former coach Xabi Alonso, are monitoring his situation closely alongside Real Madrid. While Arsenal are reportedly reluctant to sell mid-season and value the midfielder at €90 million (£77 million), a persistent lack of minutes could see the player push for a move when the transfer window opens in January.
